The compulsory attendance law requires that all children betweei the ages of eight and fourteen years shall attend school during four con secntive months, or eighty days, encl year. The State Hoard of Educatioi has recommended that the term o compulsory attendance begin in eacl district with the opening of the pub lie schools of the locality, lt is hopei that every board of district trustee! will adopt this recommendation ii order to secure the maximum mini ber of pupils promptly as well as Un maximum attendance.

Mrs. Jet IiAXl> BANK LOANS AUK LAR?iE. Over $1,000,000 Loaned in Four States During Month of April. (The State, Muy 14.) High wrier mark for a singlo month's loams on farms was roached hy tho Federal Land Hank during the month of April, when $1.000.000 was loaned to fanners in North Car olina, South Carolina, Georgia and Florida. Tho land hank is steadily increas ing in popularity as its methods of inakinr loans to fanners become hot ter known. Tho bank allows thirty six years to pay hack tho loan, and tho amortization plan ls growing In favor rapidly. In running up Inter est rates yesterday H. H. Welch es timated that on tho loans made dur ing April $1,364,000 would be savod to farmers during the thirty-six-year period-that ls, this amount, will bc saved to fanners who would ordi narily have borrowed funds from commercial hunks ut tho usual rates of Interest. D, A. Houston, president of thc Federal Land Hank, in speaking of farms and mortgages yesterday, said: "There are about 0,0 00.000 farms in the United States; forty por cent (or 2,'100,000) uro under mortgages. These, of course, were handled as short-term loans, and were, there fore, subject to all of the pain and penalties of frequent renewals. This mortgage debt, or the 40 per cent of the whole, amounts to about'$(?,000. 0 00,000. When lt is recalled that, under thc amortization plan, which is the required method of liquidation under the Federal Farm Loan Act. there was a difference in favor of (he hanks over (he same period, al the same rale, on a $1,000 loan, of $624.72, as against the old way, or no amortization. Then (his means that if this $6,000,000,000 could bc eventually Moated by the Federal Land Hanks, with their comparative ly low rates of interest and long peri ods of payment, or liquidation, the farmers of the United Kt;i(es would save for the added comforts of home, education of children and general effi ciency ?is (he wealth producers of the nation, $3,748,320,000 in interest alone in thirty-six years.
